cOLOGNE MUSIC FESTIVAL

MOUNT KIMBIE
Five days, over 30,000 visitors, 60 concerts and parties in 30
different locations and around 100 artists from 20 countries:
urban and diverse!
The c/o pop festival’s recipe for success is simple: musically,
the c/o pop festival has been offering a good mix of established
artists and newcomers since 2004, including electro, indie, and
related styles as well as international and national acts. Besides
the headliner shows, there are also numerous concerts and
showcases with free entry.
the glitch mob
Among the highlights are, of course, the several special events
such as the popUP NRW award, the label evenings and networking
events in the context of the c/o pop festival.

adjacent trade fair and conference
area, c/o pop has become one of the
most important industry meet-ups for
the young and colourful creative sector.”

“The new festival programme seems more
open and relatable; a mixture of well-known “c/o pop is really important for the
artists who are currently in the spotlight
music scene in Germany.”
and younger acts about whom we will –
Hans Nieswandt, Head of the Institute for Popular Music
hopefully – say later that we saw them

The conference for
Entertainment Content,
Music & Brands
Parallel to the festival, on 20 and 21 August, the c/o pop Convention
will be taking place, offering over 1,000 professionals from 15
countries a two-day conference programme all about the topics of
“Entertainment Content, Music & Brands”.
c/o pop Convention is the business platform for anyone working at
the interface between brands and music & entertainment content.
Opening panel
Sat Bisla (A&R Worldwide)
»When it comes to discourse, Cologne has
the edge over Hamburg or Berlin!«
Berliner Zeitung
In lectures and workshops, visitors can discuss topics such as branded
entertainment, communication strategies, new forms of content and
sales, synch and sponsoring, as well as opportunities and risks in new
business models. And all of this in a personal atmosphere, far away
from anonymous trade fair halls.
c/o pop Convention has tailored its programme to artists, brands,
agencies, labels and service providers from the content and
communication industries.
It is a networking platform for content providers and seekers, for
decision-makers and trendsetters, students, lecturers and graduates
of related university courses, for start-ups and established companies,
for marketing leaders and brand managers, media creators, one-man
shows and large enterprises.
We believe that content is the driving force for the age of communication and have, therefore, created this marketplace.

take part.”
